Leading Republicans are expressing confidence in SpeakerMcCarthy's hold on his conference after 12 GOP lawmakers voted down a rule to block the Biden administration from instituting a gas stove ban.
Twelve Republicans, largely made up of House Freedom Caucus members, blocked two GOP measures concerning gas stoves in a Tuesday afternoon procedural vote, marking the first time a rule had failed since 2002. The dissenting Republicans joined 208 Democrats in preventing the bills from moving forward, despite the measures having broad party support.
“I think we’ll come together because we realize where the Left, which controls the Democratic Party, where they want to take the country is not good,” he continued, referencing his speech on the House floor nominating McCarthy as speaker in January. “So that's what we’ve got to focus on, and I'll continue to try to encourage that to happen, and I think it will. It was happening, it was going fine.
“There's pretty wide unanimity [on the gas stoves issue],” Cole said from the policy breakfast. “This is regulatory reform stuff. This is red meat for Republicans. So, you know, there's another issue at stake here, and I'm not exactly sure what it is. We didn't get any warning that this was happening. The whips team didn't pick anything up. None of the members that voted no bothered to tell any of us that they were going to vote no.
